Rescue teams combed through the wreckage Friday of the Russian jetliner that crashed in a steep mountainside in Indonesia on Wednesday—but weather conditions are hampering recovery efforts. A dozen bodies were found Friday morning, but the Sukhoi Superjet 100 plane was estimated to be carrying between 45 and 48 people. The cause of the crash remains unclear.
